Afterthoughts

But Some Of My Best Friends Are Children —PeriodicaHy LAB NEWS gets
a call like this: "Hey this is a friend of Charley Smakenfelter and
did you know his 3 - year-old Wolfgang got the Rhodes Scholarship and
has been selected for the next moon shot and when are you gonna take
Wolfgang's picture and put him on the front page?" Answer: hardly
ever. We like kids and pictures of kids, especially the little ones,
are surefire, just like comics. But according to our calculations
the Sandia population has 8119-652 of 'em, and we have just so much
space. So no kid stuff... Sorry.

Baseball Freak. Alleges Foul —In the last issue, we included a well-
reasoned, incisive, and definitive analysis of the game of baseball.
One unbiased observer said "Right on!" But you always hear from the
kooks too:

"Dear Editor:

Well now, John, you've gone TOO FAR! You have really struck a nerve
this time, and I can't let it pass without comment.

First it was that master of the innuendo, Ralph Nader, exploding my
faith in the perfection of GM's engineering and the purity of its
management. Then the Sherlock Holmes of the Military - Industrial
Complex, Daniel Ellsburg, spotlights my misplaced allegiance in our
country's leadership. Following this, the Berrigan brothers perforate
my image of the friendly neighborhood priest that Pat O'Brien worked
so hard to project. Next, the original undercover agent. Jack Ander¬
son, tells me that my country "tilted" in favor of Pakistan in that
perpetual pinball machine conflict in Asia. Through all of that my
rock and my salvation was the innocence and virtue of America's
national pasttime.

And now you come along and tell be that baseball is synonymous with
"A Clockwork Orange;" that Charlie Finley didn't give Vida Blue all
that money because he's running a business, and that Babe Ruth and
Mickey Mantle are not really athletes but athletic supporters!

You have destroyed my last handhold on any semblance of life as I
knew it. Before I am inundated with any more of your revelations,
consider this a HATE letter and cancel my subscription to your icon¬
oclastic tabloid.

versus 16 percent for each of the other three

alternatives.

Final tabulations, based on 131

Many Retired Sandians

A Good Deal: Meals on Wheels

Retired Sandians have a reputation for
their involvement in the community. A
program that began last January now needs
volunteers, and it presents an opportunity for
Sandia's retirees to spend a small amount of
time in a constructive community service.

In the “Meals on Wheels” program,
volunteers deliver meals to elderly, han¬
dicapped, or convalescent persons who are
unable to prepare their food or who have no
one to do it for them. Nutritious, balanced
meals, including special diets, are prepared in
the kitchen of Anna Kaseman Hospital. Two
meals a day are furnished - one hot and one
cold for each client. The meals are
delivered five days a week at a moderate cost;
food stamps are acceptable, and in case of
extreme need, financial help may be secured
through the Emergency Food and Medical
Service. Any resident of the city is eligible for
the meal service.

Volunteers are needed to make deliveries,
working in teams of two, one day a week, for
about two hours a day. Chairmen of the Day
are also needed to supervise pickup of meals
by drivers, working one day every two weeks
for about two hours. Assistants are needed to
pack the food in thermal chests and to place
the chests at drivers' stations at the hospital.
And more help is needed for clerical and
public relations work.

Several retired Sandians are working with
the group: Hap Kindschi and his wife give
their time as a Driver (what else?) and Friend¬
ly Visitor team. "It’s a great experience,” Hap
says. “These people are so appreciative. My
route is about a 40-mile trip, serving up to 10
people. I still have lots of time to go fishing.”
Ruth Jensen donates her time as a Chairman
of the Day. "This is a fine way to make new
friends and to renew friendships. The first day
I came to the hospital, I found I was working
with four former Sandians," she says. “This
type of volunteer work is really fun and very
satisfying.” Other Sandians giving valuable
assistance are Hildegarde Fink, Hazel
Smeltzer, Geneva Howell and Harriet Evans.

The organization is now servicing some 50
clients a day and hopes to expand the opera¬
tion by including hospitals in other areas of

individuals and from organizations within the
community. Initial planning of the program
was begun by the Immanuel United
Presbyterian Church and the non-profit
ogranization is endorsed by the Albuquerque
Division of the New Mexico Interchurch
Agency. Clients are referred by churches and
other agencies, doctors, ministers and in¬
dividuals.

Courts, Tennis, Use of

How About That
Sports Fans . . .

Lots of Labs people use the Base tennis
courts, which probably accounts for recurring
reports of friction arising from encounters
over who gets to use a court when many
people are waiting. Well gather 'round boys,
girls and others because you're about to be
reminded that this is a Military Base. We've
received this pronouncement from Base
authorities on the subject:

USE OF TENNIS COURTS:

1. Due to excessive demands Tor the use of tennis
courts during the summer months, the following policy
will be effective 15 June 1972.

2. Tennis Courts will be utilized on a first-come,
first-serve basis in accordance with the following
priorities:

a. Active duty military personnel.

b. Retired military personnel.

c. Dependents of active duty military personnel.

d. Dependents of retired military personnel.

e. Civilian personnel assigned to Kirtland AFB.

3. PRE-EMPTORY PROCEDURES: Courts can
only be pre-empted by a higher priority group (2 or 4
persons) on the hour up to Jive minutes after the hour (i.e.,
if a group of civilian personnel are occupying a court at
0815, the higher priority group can demand use of that
court at 0900 to 0905 if there are no other courts
available in that tennis court area; the civilian group will
relinquish the court). Should the lower priority group
refuse to relinquish the court, they will be reported to
the Sports Department at Kirtland East Gym (264-
1025/1413) or to the Chief, Special Services, Lt Colonel
Baca (266-1771) during non-duty hours for necessary
action.

4. Only one member of a higher priority group (2 or
4 persons) will be needed to qualify for this pre-emptive
right.

5. The eligibility for civilian personnel assigned to
KAFB to use the tennis courts on a space available basis
will continue in force until further notice; however, this
privilege may be withdrawn at a future date if the
demand for courts by active duty and retired military
personnel should warrant such action.

NEW MEXICO

“Just One More Time” —

The Indian Ceremonial in Gallup

Last year, after residence in New Mexico
for many years, we finally made it to the
Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial in Gallup.
After all, it was going to be the last one, which
made it sort of historic. Well, we’ve just
gotten a news release from Gallup which
starts out “Thanks to one final delay of
construction plans ... the annual Inter-
Tribal Indian Ceremonial will hold its famed
exposition just one more time . . No
matter. If you haven’t gone to the Ceremonial
—you should. If you’ve gone before, you
probably have some strong opinions about
the Ceremonial.

I do, I think it’s glorious, sad, exuberant,
tawdry, amusing, irritating, not really com¬
mercialized, and a nice antidote to
Disneyland. Most of all it is spectacle —

* the morning parade, Indians of many
tribes in panoply, many horses,
marching bands (there’s something in¬
congruous about an Indian clarinetist),

* and the faces - really great faces - those
of the young smiling and enjoying the
holiday and those of the old, lined,
dignified, set. A little of show biz in¬
trudes into the parade, fortunately very
little. It remains a non-slick production,
and I found it most affecting.

* the dissident Indians, usually young
males whose hair and dress reflect not
the reservation but the campus, handing
out shrill, badly written protests of the
Ceremonial. They may have a case, but
they need an editor.

* a sort of shantytown fairgrounds out¬
side the arena, where you can get a little
of everything —nutty buddies, paper
novelties, fried Indian bread, some first
class Indian jewelry, even a swig of
wine.

* the Exhibit Hall, something like the
Indian Building at the State Fair, lots of
jewelry, rugs, baskets and pottery. I
especially liked the live demonstration
of sandpainting, and no one seemed to
mind picture taking.

Then there are the events at the arena. The

IF you look closely you’ll see a small Indian boy
clutching the buffalo hide in this race around the
arena.

Water Safety Reminder

Wear a Life Jacket

Brothers Jimmie (4513) and Conrad
(7121) Otero and Jimmie’s six-year-old-son
Matthew came through a recent boating
mishap on Bluewater Lake feeling just “plain
lucky.”

They were paddling a 300-400 pound steel
pontoon, supported on each side by a 50-
gallon tanks. “We didn’t have lifejackets; the
pontoon looked safe and I didn’t think
anything could tip it over,” Jimmie says. But,
a combination of the rudder catching on a
buoy cable, high winds and large waves did
turn it completely over, in very deep water.
Conrad was able to catch hold of Matthew
and put him up on the overturned craft, and
then he and Jimmie held on. People on shore
saw their difficulty and they were picked up
by boat in about 15 minutes.

“We really were lucky,” Jimmie says,
“and I’ll never go on the water again without
a life jacket.” Amen.

THESE are Zunis In morning parade. Note variety of squash blossom necklaces. Pot markings are usually
distinctive according to Indian group.

format of the Ceremonial consists of the ten
o'clock parade in the morning (on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, but not on Thursday),
followed by the two o’clock arena perform¬
ance of what the program lists as “Indian
sports, athletics, and rodeo,” followed by the
evening (8:30) arena performance of Indian
dances. Except on Sunday, when the after¬
noon and evening events are combined in one
afternoon performance. I’m inclined to
recommend seeing the dances at night because
their drama is heightened by the light of
bonfires set in the middle of the arena. Taking
pictures under such conditions is a little tough
though.

The “Indian sports, athletics, and rodeo”
turn out to be a little wild. One of the first
events is the wagon race: stripped-down farm
wagons hitched to two horses making circuits
of the arena with standing drivers lashing
their teams on a la Ben Hur. It’s what
promotional literature calls “action filled.” In
another contest, a group of frantic cows
straight off the range is turned loose and
chased by a group of equally frantic Indian
cowboys, each bearing a one quart milk
bottle. He who first succeeds in getting a
perceptible amount of milk from a cow into
his bottle wins. I forget what the prize was but
it should include a free visit to the dentist.

A more placid but still engaging event was
the sheep dog contest. I had never seen these
remarkable animals do their thing — in this
event rounding up and herding a group of
sheep into a corral. The dogs’ owners were all
Anglos and I haven't figured out yet what
they have to do with an Indian Ceremonial,
but it was still sort of interesting.

They do a couple of things with a buffalo.
There’s a real, live specimen that looks about
eight feet tall that’s used for macho trips by
some of the more resolute — they try to ride
the thing. Time aboard is brief and in¬
vigorating. I’m surprised the species declined.
Later, a buffalo hide is dragged behind a
horse in a race around the arena. The hide has
a passenger, a small Indian boy who hangs on
for dear life in what must be a modern rite of
passage.

And there’s a pretty good rodeo too as
well as other events. The Ceremonial must be
on the rodeo tour because most of the en¬
trants had names like Billy Jo Custer from
Sweetwater, Texas, and they certainly weren’t
Indians.

Logistics — You can do the Ceremonial in

NOT exactly Howard Johnson's, but the menu offers stew, corn on the cob and french fries. And coffee for a dime
and no headwaiter. Cedar boughs lend nice touch.

a day, as we did, although it’s a little ex¬
cruciating. And I most assuredly would not
drive. We took a Grey Lines bus, leaving at
6:00 a.m., that delivered us to the center of
town in time for the parade. We reboarded
the bus after the parade for a KFC box lunch,
and our driver then delivered us to the arena
grounds where he parked. You can leave stuff
in the bus and, since weather can turn cool or
rainy, it’s advisable to take some extra
clothing. Following the afternoon perform¬
ance, we returned to the bus, broke out the
martinis from our cooler, and later walked
into town for dinner. The dances start at 8:30,
and I seem to recall that we finally cleared the
parking lot about midnight, which put the bus
back in Albuquerque at some frightful hour.
A long day. Incidentally, the bus/lunch/arena
package is $22.

If you have a camper, your schedule can
be less rigorous, but how you actually get into
Gallup during the periods of interest, and
park, poses a problem of magnitude. Traffic is
awful and the local constabulary is unequal to
it.

I have written for a supply of Ceremonial
folders and they will be available in Lab News
office if you are interested. The folder con¬
tains detailed information about the schedule
of events and ticket prices. »js

SANDPAINTING
among Navajos.

BAREBACK on a buffalo has to be the ultimate in
high resolve. Extended ride lasted about two or three
milliseconds.

NEW MEXICO Civil Air Patrol recently conducted a
one-week training program tor some 40 cadets from
throughout the state. Visiting Sandia’s Exhibit Center
was part ot the program. From left are Dick
Damerow (1442), New Mexico CAP wing com¬
mander; Paul Carroll, project officer; Beverly Vito, a
CAP cadet colonel; and Len Beavis (1413), director
ol the cadet training program.

A NEW LA WYER, John Kautmann, has arrived at the
Labs to take the place ol Ed Lenard, who has
returned to WE in New York. John has been with WE
lor some 10 years, has an EE degree out ol Mar¬
quette, and did his law work at Georgetown Univ. He
and his wile Ellen have one daughter, age two, and
reside in a place called 4-Hills. John is a runner,
does several miles each day.

Got Any Ancient History?

Bill Jenkins, who used to be a Sandian and
now handles employee publications and
graphics for Lawrence Livermore Lab. is
planning a pictorial photo brochure to mark
the 20th anniversary of L-Cube next fall. He’s
looking for historic photos that would be of

general interest, showing old timers in field
operations, or other activities which may have
been handled jointly bv Sandians and U-Cal
people. Anyone having such memorabilia
should send it to PR Department 3160 at

Coronado Club Activities

Special Events Set For Kids

TEENAGERS rate a couple of special
events during the next two weeks at the
Coronado Club. The first one is a Rock
Concert set for the patio area on Wednesday,

SAFETY SHOES
REALLY WORK

July 12, from 2 to 5 p.m. A couple of rock
bands, one called “Medusa,” will be wired
into an outdoor bandstand and alternate
entertaining the youngsters. Yes, there will be
dancing and cavorting about. Entrance to the
event will be through the swimming pool gate.
Guest youngsters will pay 50 cents (the usual
swimming guest fee for kids). Urge your kids
to attend - it’s their show.

Second event for the kids is a Teen Go Go
set Tuesday, July 18, from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m.
Backseat Bogie is the name of the group.
Chuck Logan of KQEO will be master of
ceremonies. Member youngsters get in free,
guests pay 50 cents.

HAPPY HOUR tonight will see the return
of the Country Express to the bandstand
while the Club’s kitchen staff wheels out Rio
Grande Style Mexican food for the buffet.
Denny Gallegos will entertain in the main
lounge. Next Friday, July 14, Wildman Bob
Banks will play for dancing. The buffet
feature will be southern fried chicken. On
Friday, July 21, the Prisoners will be loose on
the bandstand while the Club’s famous
chuckwagon roast beef is carved for the
buffet. Yolanda will conduct the sing-along in
the main lounge.

A SHRIMP PEEL is what it's called and
it's scheduled Saturday, July 15, from 6 to 9
p.m. There will be tubs of shrimp and chicken

(for those who must), shrimp sauce and
salads. The Club calendar says “all you can
eat” at $2.95 which includes a glass of beer or
wine. Bring as many friends as you like no
guest fee for this one. No reservations are
needed: just show up between 6 and 9 p.m.
with the big hungries.

VAUDEVILLE NIGHT on Saturday,
July 22, will see the return of the Whistlers, a
fantastic act that killed them during the
Roaring 20's party. In addition, a modern
folk singing duo called Carl and Jerry will
entertain. The movie will be Walt Disney's
“The Three Lives of Thomasina.” The fun
starts around 6 p.m. when super sandwiches
and Happy Hour prices become available.

THE DISNEYLAND TRAVEL
PACKAGE has shaped up this way: $129
buys you four days starting Aug. 3. It includes
all air transportation, hotel accommodations,
gate admission plus 10 activity tickets to
Disneyland, and tours of the Los Angeles area
Farmer's Market, CBS Studios, Queen
